Many thanks @IIHS_autosafety for inviting CAB students, staff, and faculty to see a live crash test! It was an exciting experience for all.

[UVA Center for Applied Biomechanics @uvacab]

Thanks for the shoutout @presjimryan! We're thrilled with all the exciting work going on at the lab!

How do we get information to design safe cars? By crashing a lot of cars! In a controlled, safe environment, that is, and one of those places is @uvacab where graduate students lead high-level biomechanics research. @UVAEngineers @MBPanzerLab #biomechanics

Congrats to Sayak Mukherjee for successfully defending his PhD dissertation titled "Development of a Human Muscle Control Framework based on Deep Reinforcement Learning". Well earned!

[UVA Center for Applied Biomechanics @uvacab]

They really do grow up so fast 🥲

CAB is proud to announce that we just ran a sled test on SESA for the 8⃣0⃣0⃣th time! Congrats to @CoriEspelien and her team for hitting this milestone!

First conference of the year! We enjoyed seeing everybody at the National Capital Area TBI Research Symposium.

[Jared Rifkin @realmitchberger]

Coming at you live from the NCA TBI conference. Come say hi and learn about automotive head injury metrics at poster 84!

[UVA Center for Applied Biomechanics @uvacab]

It was truly an honor to be able to show off our laboratory and have meaningful discussions with @NHTSAgov leadership about road safety and injury prevention research!

Happy holidays, everyone! Did we ever tell you guys about the time the Grinch visited Wahooville? It's really quite the tale:

[UVA Center for Applied Biomechanics @uvacab]

He was a mean one Mr. -- excuse us -- Dr. Grinch. Turns out while he was busy celebrating CABmas he managed to defend his dissertation.
